With all the baking and cooking over the holidays, it comes as a blessing to find a recipe that doesn’t take a lot of time and doesn’t require a lot of oven time. That’s when a Rich Chocolate Pie comes in handy!
Chocolate is a flavor that most people love. Adding some delicious, whipped cream or meringue topping just makes it even better.
Regardless of the specific holiday, you could always depend on her having a Rich Chocolate Pie nestled among other delicious desserts, such as Apple Pie with Cheese Crust, a Coconut Cake and, if peaches were in season, a Peach Cobbler.
If we were very lucky, there would be a piece or two of the Chocolate Pie left over. But you had to be quick and claim it, or it would go home with someone else!
From Simple to Rich and More Delicious
The most familiar quick and simple Chocolate Pie recipe comes on a box of pudding. However, Aunt Dot played around and took it to a new, richer, and even more delicious level. Which made it even harder to resist!
Although you do have to use your stove top and oven for this recipe, the time it takes is minimal. To make it even easier, you can make it the day before, and add the meringue or whipped topping at the last minute.
(And of course, you do know you will probably have to make two. You know, just so you can taste test it first…)
